| | RE: LAGGING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Try disabling your paging file and then use Readyboost, this helped in my case. -- PiNoY enPSYCHoLoKoPeDia (http://www.azurin.org/blog) Executive Housewife (http://www.azurin.org/blag) Real Estate World(http://www.azurin.org/reworld) "Jahol722" wrote: Quote: > Why is my computer which is fairly high end lagging on just playing music and > simple games this is driving me nuts can anyone help? > MB : MSI K9N4 SLI-F AM2 NVIDIA nForce 500 > VC : Dual XFX 8500 GT Fatil1ty Professional 512 MB > CPU : AMD 64 X2 6000+ > Mem : 2 GB DDR 800 |

| | Re: LAGGING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Disabling the pagefile would only make matters worse. That could cause 'out of memory' errors as well as cause installed programs to fail to start as many look for a page allocation when initializing. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Alvin Paul L.

| | Re: LAGGING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Hi, Look to what is running in the background at boot. A lag is caused by the system's resources being occupied by other processes. Normally, the sources for this are malware, misconfigured antivirus software, and an excessive number of programs loading as part of the startup axis. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Jahol722" <Jahol722@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:9749363A-963D-4062-A576-9ECB053BF5D1@xxxxxx Quote: > Why is my computer which is fairly high end lagging on just playing music > and > simple games this is driving me nuts can anyone help? > MB : MSI K9N4 SLI-F AM2 NVIDIA nForce 500 > VC : Dual XFX 8500 GT Fatil1ty Professional 512 MB > CPU : AMD 64 X2 6000+ > Mem : 2 GB DDR 800 |
